Radio frequency identification pioneer and corporate monolith Wal-Mart Stores is speeding on with its use of the track-and-trace technology.
It announced Tuesday that 500 new stores and clubs will introduce RFID for case-level and pallet-level tracking before the end of the fiscal year, doubling the number of locations using it.
The new deployments will all use tags based on the Gen 2 RFID standard. All Wal-Mart’s other RFID-enabled locations, which use first-generation chips, will be converted once all pallets bearing Gen 1 tags have made their way through the system.
